Unique and interesting scifi story

Revisado: 05-13-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The parts of this novel I enjoyed included the early interactions with Trict and her family as they pressure her to have a medical implant. The arguments and debates are well done and the outcome is both understandable and heartbreaking. Another favored part of the book is when Tolren and Seremend are trapped in a space station. Both characters interact well, questioning one another and exploring their surroundings in a way that helps the world building of the story to great effect.

Although this is a standalone novel, there are references to many things that are not easily clarified. Those who have read the rest of the series may understand the entirety of the story more than those who have not. Overall, Long Paradise is an interesting scifi book. The unique non-linear story provides mysteries, challenges and an array of strange characters and unexpected dangers.

Disappointing

Revisado: 12-02-11

I've read and listened to a number of books in the past which provide useful information for increasing memory or allowing the reader to work on some exercises that may or may not have results, but this is primarily a dry recitation of data with regards to the process of memory in a statistical format, presented with endless references to various other studies on the subject.

This is more of a lengthy college dissertation meant to show data that has been collected for review by academia. Very detached in presentation, little story or flow that can be followed for a casual reader and likely better presented in textbook format with charts and graphs to refer to as the data is presented.

There is little here of use to those interested in improving memory.

Here at last!

This is the book which launched Stephen King's career and set the bar for all other aspiring writers. For those who have never read this book, you are in for a treat.

Sneaky Suspenseful and Sardonic

Revisado: 03-05-05

I'll admit I stopped about halfway through the tale, however, as the days counted on and the story bloomed, I was pleased with the story overall. I would recommend this one in audio format over the written format just for the reader's eerily accurate representation of the antagonist(s).

A new favorite!

Revisado: 03-05-05

I was a bit skeptical about this book since I hadn't heard much from my peers good or bad. Now I am off recommending this book to them since it was such a great read and a great listen.

Koontz Classic!

Revisado: 03-05-05

I was thrilled when this novel came into the audible library as it is a definite favorite. The novel was great to own and now the spoken version is one which I am thrilled to have listened to. The story is a thrilling page turner and the reader is above and beyond in a class of his own.

Phenomenal

Revisado: 09-20-04

I've never in my life seen such a fervor to subvert a book as I have with this one! I couldn't find it in any book store despite its bestseller status and was thrilled when I found it here. How odd that so many books have come out criticizing the president, but one book comes out against this person and the country turns communist! I would recommend this book just to find out what is so damaging that no one wants objective readers to see.

Admirable!

Revisado: 04-10-04

Rather than being the information gathering forum intended, the Democrats once more tried manipulating facts, this time facing a knowledgable and calm individual who made them all out to be the fools they are. Grandstanding and playing to the crowd did nothing for the Democrat panel members. Their obvious goal to manipulate to their own political gains was apparent to all.
